Riding High

Situation Tranquil now has their very own Theme Park Ride. Yes it's true. The U.S. Based supergroup recently signed a lucritive 20-year agreement with Ohio's Cedar Point. Terms were not disclosed.

The ride..."Situation Tranquil's Wild Ride" will be a thrill for all true rockers.

Riders on the super-sized "Situation Tranquil's Wild Ride" sit in outward-facing suspended seats that form a giant circle of 50 passengers; their legs dangle freely, and each seat has an individual shoulder restraint and restraining belt. "Situation Tranquil's Wild Ride" swings riders back and forth in a seemingly out-of-control pendulum motion while rotating counter-clockwise. At the peak of the pendulum movement that reaches a maximum speed of 70 mph, riders are upside down 140 feet high above the ground and experience “airtime” – that coveted feeling of weightlessness that is popular for thrill-seekers on roller coasters. The dynamic return drop generates a variety of sensations on riders depending on their specific position through the rotation, creating a different ride experience each time.

ST Drummer Jim Beach was quoted at the announcement, "This is way cool. Can I go again?"
